Journeys can take you somewhere mysterious and fun. There is an old saying “One cannot find magic, only magic can find you“. I can attest to this saying. Often times, when you seek adventure travel, you just have to let it go and let the adventure seek you.

Wandering

Traveling through the vast land and altering landscapes of Peru in a short time can be exhausting, yes, but an adventure vacation in Peru also alters your perspective of life in a tremendous way. Want proof? Just click here and be dazzled.

The majestic landscape and majestic Peru rail

I was trying to recreate a scene from Tintin in America, where Lllama spits on the person. Didn’t happen here.

For instance, take the Town of Raqchi in Peru. According to Wikipedia:

“Raqchi is an Inca archaeological site in the Cusco region in Peru also known as the Temple of Wiracocha, one of its constituents. A town nearby has the same name. Both lie along the Vilcanota (Urubamba) River. The site has experienced a recent increase in tourism in recent years, with 83,334 visitors to the site in 2006, up from 8,183 in 2000 and 452 in 1996″.

While most visitors to Peru travel to the most famous Inca ruin site of Machu Picchu, there are many other very interesting Inca ruin sites that are unknown to most travelers, Raqchi being one of those.

What does it take to experience Adventure Travel?

It takes a curious mind, an open mind, a sense of adventure, and lots of Pepto Bismol on hand to allow adventure to happen; or make it happen. It is, in the end, what you make out of every breath of your life.
